Enhanced rare-earth separation with a metal-sensitive lanmodulin dimer

Technologically critical rare-earth elements are notoriously difficult to separate, owing to their subtle differences in ionic radius and coordination number. The natural lanthanide-binding protein lanmodulin (LanM) is a sustainable alternative to conventional solvent-extraction-based separation. Here we characterize a new LanM, from Hansschlegelia quercus (Hans-LanM), with an oligomeric state sensitive to rare-earth ionic radius, the lanthanum(III)-induced dimer being >100-fold tighter than the dysprosium(III)-induced dimer. X-ray crystal structures illustrate how picometre-scale differences in radius between lanthanum(III) and dysprosium(III) are propagated to Hans-LanM’s quaternary structure through a carboxylate shift that rearranges a second-sphere hydrogen-bonding network. Comparison to the prototypal LanM from Methylorubrum extorquens reveals distinct metal coordination strategies, rationalizing Hans-LanM’s greater selectivity within the rare-earth elements. Finally, structure-guided mutagenesis of a key residue at the Hans-LanM dimer interface modulates dimerization in solution and enables single-stage, column-based separation of a neodymium(III)/dysprosium(III) mixture to >98% individual element purities. This work showcases the natural diversity of selective lanthanide recognition motifs, and it reveals rare-earth-sensitive dimerization as a biological principle by which to tune the performance of biomolecule-based separation processes.

Recovery of high specific activity molybdenum-99 from accelerator-induced fission on low-enriched uranium for technetium-99m generators

Abstract A new process was developed to recover high specific activity (no carrier added) 99 Mo from electron-accelerator irradiated U 3 O 8 or uranyl sulfate targets. The process leverages a novel solvent extraction scheme to recover Mo using di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid following uranium and transuranics removal with tri- n -butyl phosphate. An anion-exchange concentration column step provides a final purification, generating pure 99 Mo intended for making 99 Mo/ 99m Tc generators. The process was demonstrated with irradiated uranium targets resulting in more than 95% 99 Mo recovery and without presence of fission products or actinides in the product.

Pinning ångström-size solid ionic channels for rare-earth element separation

High-purity rare-earth elements are essential for modern technologies, yet current solvent extraction processes are energy-intensive and environmentally harmful because of inadequate selectivity and ligand toxicity. Although combining size exclusion and binding affinity can improve lanthanide separation, the role of long-range confinement remains underexplored. Here we report lanthanide separation in aqueous systems using extremely confined manganese oxide solid ionic channels with optimized layer spacing. Different lanthanides induce distinct solid-state phase transformations in manganese oxide, creating a strong driving force for separation. Two lanthanide groups, differing by ~1.4 Å in spacing, were identified and confirmed to be stable by density functional theory. The narrower confinement of heavier Group II lanthanides improves cross-group separation by increasing the dehydration barrier for lighter Group I lanthanides without inducing strong binding. Here, we further developed a strategy to pin the confinement dimensions and enhance same-group separation, increasing enrichment factors for La–Nd and La–Pr pairs from 1.6 ± 0.1 and 1.5 ± 0.1 to 5.4 ± 0.1 and 4.2 ± 0.1, respectively.

Hierarchical Phenomena in Multicomponent Liquids: Simulation Methods, Analysis, Chemistry

Complex, multicomponent, solutions have often been studied solely through the lens of specific applications of interest. Yet advances to both simulation methodologies (enhanced sampling, etc.) and analysis techniques (network analysis algorithms and others), are creating a trove of data that reveal transcending characteristics across vast compositional phase space. This perspective discusses technical considerations of the reliable and accurate simulations of complex solutions, followed by the advances to analysis algorithms that elucidate coupling of different length and timescale behavior (hierarchical phenomena). The different manifestations of hierarchical phenomena are presented across an array of solution environments, emphasizing fundamental and ongoing science questions. With a more advanced molecular understanding in hand, a quintessential application (solvent extraction) is discussed, where significant opportunities exist to re-imagine the technical scope of an established technology.

Probing specific ion effects at air-aqueous dibutyl phosphate interfaces using vibrational sum frequency generation spectroscopy

Molecular properties at air–liquid and liquid–liquid interface hold the key to many processes involving molecular transport across phase boundaries from aerosol formation to carbon cycling and material separation using solvent extraction techniques. Using dibutyl phosphate (DBP) as a representative for partially aqueous soluble surfactants, the specific ion effect (SIE) of the Hofmeister series cations Cs + , Na + , Li + , and Mg 2+ on the partition and interaction between surfactant molecules and water molecules in the air–aqueous interface are investigated using vibrational sum frequency generation spectroscopy and surface tension measurements. In the presence of 1 mM and 1M bulk aqueous phase ionic strength salt concentrations, fundamental qualitative relationships are observed for the salting out of DBP relative to bulk aqueous phase nitrate salt concentrations and the specific cations species. At 1 mM ionic strength, the interfacial charge and hence the interfacial potential modulates the electrostatic interactions; in particular, the counter cations partially screen the negatively charged interface induced by the DBP in a direct Hofmeister order. At 1M ionic strength, the electric field at the interface or interfacial potential is effectively neutralized, and the counter cations promote the partitioning of DBP to the interface depending on their specific interaction with the DBP head group and metal ion hydration properties. The present results lay a foundation to study SIEs of heavier metals on hydrophobic-aqueous DBP interfaces.

Development of ultra-pure gadolinium sulfate for the Super-Kamiokande gadolinium project

This paper reports the development and detailed properties of about 13 metric tons of gadolinium sulfate octahydrate, Gd 2 (SO 4 ) 3 • 8H 2 O⁠, which has been dissolved into Super-Kamiokande (SK) in the summer of 2020. We evaluate the impact of radioactive impurities in Gd 2 (SO 4 ) 3 • 8H 2 O on diffuse supernova neutrino background searches and solar neutrino observation and confirm the need to reduce radioactive and fluorescent impurities by about three orders of magnitude from commercially available high-purity Gd 2 (SO 4 ) 3 • 8H 2 O⁠. In order to produce ultra-high-purity Gd 2 (SO 4 ) 3 • 8H 2 O, we have developed a method to remove impurities from gadolinium oxide, Gd 2 O 3 , consisting of acid dissolution, solvent extraction, and pH control processes, followed by a high-purity sulfation process. All of the produced ultra-high-purity Gd 2 (SO 4 ) 3 • 8H 2 O is assayed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and high-purity germanium detectors to evaluate its quality. Because of the long measurement time of high-purity germanium detectors, we have employed several underground laboratories for making parallel measurements including the Laboratorio Subterráneo de Canfranc in Spain, Boulby in the UK, and Kamioka in Japan. In the first half of production, the measured batch purities were found to be consistent with the specifications. However, in the latter half, the Gd 2 (SO 4 ) 3 • 8H 2 O contained one order of magnitude more 228Ra than the budgeted mean contamination. This was correlated with the corresponding characteristics of the raw material Gd 2 O 3 , in which an intrinsically large contamination was present. Based on their modest impact on SK physics, they were nevertheless introduced into the detector. To reduce 228 Ra for the next stage of gadolinium loading to SK, a new process has been successfully established.

X-ray absorption spectroscopy of lanmodulin-derived peptides bound to rare earth elements

A sustainable and robust supply chain of rare earth elements (REEs) is necessary to meet our consumer, national security and clean energy goals. However, current intra-REE separation technologies (e.g. solvent extraction) are costly and carry a heavy environmental burden. Therefore, the development of new aqueous based ligands that are selective for individual REEs will be integral in future REE production systems. To develop these ligands, an understanding of how ligand coordination structure relates to selectivity is imperative. We used X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to observe the local structure around four lanthanide (Ln) ions (La, Ce, Pr and Nd) complexed by water and several relevant chelating ligands [lanmodulin EF-hand 1 peptides (LanM1), ethyl­enedi­amine­tetra­acetic acid (EDTA), amino­tris­(methyl­ene­phospho­nic acid) (ATMP) and citric acid]. To collect these liquid-phase XAS spectra, we developed a new flow cell that prevents bubble interference and beam damage to the samples. In the X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), we observed energy shifts in the white line, white line broadening and differences in the white line intensity of different Ln–ligand complexes between ligands. In the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), we distinguished differences in peak intensity and distance between coordinating ligands. Differences in the local coordination structure between Ln–LanM1 peptide complexes were more subtle compared with the other ligands (La–water, La–EDTA, La–ATMP and La–citric acid complexes). Further XANES and EXAFS studies, in combination with modelling and other techniques, could greatly improve our structural knowledge of how these aqueous ligands bind Ln ions and how they can be used to design more selective ligands for more efficient and sustainable REE separations.

A rapid thioacidolysis method for biomass lignin composition and tricin analysis

Abstract Background Biomass composition varies from plant to plant and greatly affects biomass utilization. Lignin is a heterogeneous phenolic polymer derived mainly from p -coumaryl, coniferyl, and sinapyl alcohols and makes up to 10–25% of lignocellulosic biomass. Recently, tricin, an O -methylated flavone, was identified as a lignin monomer in many grass species. Tricin may function as a nucleation site for lignification and is advocated as a novel target for lignin engineering to reduce lignin content and improve biomass digestibility in grasses. Thioacidolysis is an analytical method that can be adapted to analyze both lignin monomeric composition and tricin content in the lignin polymer. However, the original thioacidolysis procedure is complex, laborious, and time consuming, making it difficult to be adopted for large-scale screening in biomass research. In this study, a modified, rapid higher throughput thioacidolysis method was developed. Results In combination with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS), the modified thioacidolysis method can be used to simultaneously characterize the lignin composition and tricin content using 2–5 mg of dry samples. The modified method eliminates the solvent extraction and drastically improves the throughput; 80 samples can be processed in one day per person. Our results indicate that there is no significant difference in the determination of lignin S/G ratio and tricin content between the original and modified methods. Conclusions A modified thioacidolysis protocol was established. The results demonstrate that the modified method can be used for rapid, high-throughput, and reliable lignin composition and tricin content analyses for screening transgenic plants for cell wall modifications or in large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

Utilization of microalgae for agricultural runoff remediation and sustainable biofuel production through an integrated biorefinery approach

Generally wastewater such agricultural runoff is considered a nuisance; however, it could be harnessed as a potential source of nutrients like nitrates and phosphates in integrated biorefinery context. In the current study, microalgae Chlorella sp. S5 was used for bioremediation of agricultural runoff and the leftover algal biomass was used as a potential source for production of biofuels in an integrated biorefinery context. The microalgae Chlorella sp. S5 was cultivated on Blue Green (BG 11) medium and a comprehensive optimization of different parameters including phosphates, nitrates, and pH was carried out to acquire maximum algal biomass enriched with high lipids content. Dry biomass was quantified using the solvent extraction technique, while the identification of nitrates and phosphates in agricultural runoff was carried out using commercial kits. The algal extracted lipids (oils) were employed in enzymatic trans-esterification for biodiesel production using whole-cell biomass of Bacillus subtilis Q4 MZ841642. The resultant fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Subsequently, both the intact algal biomass and its lipid-depleted algal biomass were used for biogas production within a batch anaerobic digestion setup. Interestingly, Chlorella sp. S5 demonstrated a substantial reduction of 95% in nitrate and 91% in phosphate from agricultural runoff. The biodiesel derived from algal biomass exhibited a noteworthy total FAME content of 98.2%, meeting the quality standards set by American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and European union (EU) standards. Furthermore, the biomethane yields obtained from whole biomass and lipid-depleted biomass were 330.34 NmL/g VS added and 364.34 NmL/g VS added , respectively. In conclusion, the findings underscore the potent utility of Chlorella sp. S5 as a multi-faceted resource, proficiently employed in a sequential cascade for treating agricultural runoff, producing biodiesel, and generating biogas within the integrated biorefinery concept.

Recovery of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) from Coal Mine Drainage, Phase 2

Phase 1 research identified a two-step refining train, acid leaching of AMD precipitate feed followed by solvent extraction (SX), to produce a 2% TREE product. For the Phase 2 bench scale system, the objective was to get the acid leaching step to operate in batch-mode with sufficient storage capacity to feed an aqueous, enriched REE liquor to a pilot SX plant operating in continuous-mode at a feed rate capable of producing 3 g/hr 2% TREE. Important process variables included feed rate, extractant makeup, flowsheet configuration, and stripping conditions. Operating parameters were optimized through a feedback-capable SCADA system configured for the SX bench scale plant. These conditions were met and exceeded. TREE grades approaching 90% were produced while our Techno-Economic Assessment indicated highly favorable economic returns. The project led to the design of a pilot facility for producing roughly 500 kg/TREE/year. That plant is now in the procurement stage with constructed expected to begin in late 2020.

Impacts of the Addition of Sodium Reactor Experiment (SRE) and DR-3 Fuel from H-Canyon to Tank 40 on Acid Stoichiometry and Hydrogen Production

H-Canyon plans to discard Sodium Reactor Experiment (SRE) material that is currently stored in Tanks 16.3 and 16.4. Savannah River Remediation (SRR) determined that a portion of the SRE material can be added to Sludge Batch 9 (SB9) in Tank 40 and the remainder will be added to Sludge Batch 10 (SB10) that is currently being prepared in Tank 51. A processing flowsheet for both the nitric-formic acid flowsheet and the nitric-glycolic acid flowsheet were previously developed for SB9 sludge-only and coupled operation with the Actinide Removal Process – Modular Caustic Side Solvent Extraction Unit (ARP-MCU) and the Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF). Due to the compositional change in Tank 40 after the addition of SRE material, it is necessary to determine the influence on the acid stoichiometry operating window and hydrogen production for SB9 processing. An assessment was completed to address the influence of an addition of SRE and DR-3 Fuel from H-Canyon on the chemistry of Tank 40, the defined acid stoichiometry window (with and without SWPF streams) for the nitric-formic and nitric-glycolic acid flowsheets, and the resulting influence of the hydrogen production. Hydrogen production during the SRAT/SME cycles consists of thermolytic, radiolytic, and catalytic hydrogen. For the nitric-formic acid flowsheet, catalytic hydrogen dominates the hydrogen production during DWPF operation mode for the SRAT and SME vessels. This report was written to summarize that assessment. No SRNL testing is needed prior to adding up to 7,100 additional gallons of SRE and DR-3 Fuel from H-Canyon to Tank 40. Also, the addition of SRE will not exceed the Shielded Cells reported values for catalytic hydrogen for either the nitric-formic acid flowsheet (Technical Safety Requirement (TSR) limit of 0.15 lb/h) or the nitric-glycolic acid flowsheet (TSR limit 0.024 lb/h). The addition of the ARP stream from SWPF and the use of the nitric-glycolic acid flowsheet are both expected to decrease hydrogen generation, leading to a larger safety margin in the CPC.

Saltstone Waste Characterization Analysis - Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) Waste Stream (Q4 CY2020)

The Saltstone Production and Disposal Facility is designed and permitted by the state of South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) to treat and dispose of low-level radioactive and hazardous liquid waste (salt solution) remaining from the processing of radioactive material at the Savannah River Site (SRS). Low-level waste (LEW) aqueous streams from the Effluent Treatment Project (ETP) and decontaminated solutions from the Tank Closure Cesium Removal Unit (TCCR) and the Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) are stored in Tank 50 until the LEW can be transferred to the Saltstone Facility for treatment and disposal. In the past, decontaminated solution from the Modular Caustic Side Solvent Extraction Unit (MCU) was stored in Tank 50 until the LEW could be transferred to the Saltstone Facility for treatment and disposal. MCU is currently in a suspended operations state. LEW that meets the Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) can be transferred, stored, and treated in the Saltstone Production Facility (SPF) for subsequent disposal as saltstone grout in the Saltstone Disposal Facility (SDF). Sampling will be conducted as new waste streams are identified for treatment and disposal at the Saltstone Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility (IWTF) and Z-Area Industrial Solid Waste Landfill (ISWLF), Facility ID# 025500-1603, General Condition B.9 or every six years in accordance with South Carolina (SC) Regulation 61-107.19 Parti C, “Solid Waste Management: Solid Waste Landfills and Structural Fill - General Requirements.”
